Towards A Framework For Innovation In Craft-Design Practices., Anooja J., Vibhavari Kumar

IASDR Conference Series

A transition in human thought and behavior was brought about by the Industrial Revolution in the middle of the 18th century, which increasingly replaced handcrafted industries with mass manufacturing of goods and services. In a nation like India, the majority of the rural population still relies on labor-intensive, widely scattered handicrafts. The second most important component of the country's tradition, both culturally and economically, is handicrafts, after agriculture. Since the beginning of the 1980’s there have been efforts to revive handicrafts, and many initiatives were formulated to support artisans by imparting training workshops in craft.

On-Farm Participatory Research Is An Essential Step Towards Achieving Successful Adoption Of Innovation: ‘Lifetime Wool’ A Case Study, Chris Oldham, P. Barber, M. Curnow, S. Giles, D. Gordon, A. Thompson

IGC Proceedings (1997-2023)

'Lifetime Wool' project (LTW) is a national project that is developing new nutritional guidelines for the management of ewe flocks across Australia funded by farmers through Australian Wool Innovation (AWI EC298; 2001-2008). A large replicated plot-scale experiment was used to define the dose-response of current production (wool and reproduction from the ewe) and future production (survival, growth and wool from progeny over their lifetime) to a range of levels of ewe nutrition (Thompson & Oldham, 2004). However, farmers and research workers have long realised that the difference between the results obtained on experimental plots and those obtained by farmers is …
